They could just study Cali progressives if they want to look at mutants.

This would be similar to Godzilla, who was a mutant created by all the nuclear tests in the Pacific and then destroyed Tokyo.

The fact that inbreeding of the populations is difficult to “suss out” as they said...indicates this will be a very low powered study. What they need to do is completely sequence every, I mean every, gene. Compare that to an animal outside the breeding zones total genes in that study animal, and also check the epigenetic apparatus in both animals. Factor out mutagenic sunlight, cosmic rays, background ground radiation, chemicals, and foods.
Like I say, a very very, low powered study.

Rodan too. Though iirc he was dormant, until A-bomb tests woke him up.

Chernobyl COULD HAVE BEEN a disaster, but IT WASN’T!

The HYPE over Chernobyl has been occurring ever since the LOCAL event.

Anti-Nukers just keep lying about the effects of Chernobyl.

They keep looking but all they can find is that green frogs have adapted and become black frogs.

“residents and their pets have begun moving back into Chernobyl City” Some people never left the area. They are all just fine.

It was a local event, localized at the plant itself.

They do tours there.

They are, after all, still dogs.

Yes they are, but they are telepathic and can levitate.

“Outdoorsmen are suddenly disappearing. Picture 15 foot tall pit bulls that have developed a taste for human flesh.”

“In the 15-year period of 2005 through 2019, canines killed 521 Americans. Pit bulls contributed to 66% (346) of these deaths. Combined, pit bulls and rottweilers contributed to 76% of the total recorded deaths. |” . . .
